SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced the expansion of its cost-optimized
silicon portfolio targeting a wide range of applications including
Embedded Vision and Industrial IoT. Today's Embedded Vision
and Industrial IoT applications need to collect, aggregate, and
analyze data from a variety of sensors for actionable
insights. Whether scaling a multi-sensor camera's
functionality on a factory floor, or developing a smart drone with
an innovative guidance system based on sensor fusion, designers can
take advantage of the Xilinx® FPGA and SoC offerings
across the portfolio for part or all of the system. The expanded
Xilinx Spartan®, Artix®, and Zynq®
product families address next generation any-to-any connectivity,
sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analytics, and
safety and security.

"With these new additions to our cost-optimized portfolio,
Xilinx is re-enforcing its commitment to deliver a full range of
solutions for cost sensitive applications," said Kirk Saban, senior director of FPGA & SoC
Product Management and Marketing at Xilinx. "The portfolio
expansion, now including the Spartan-7 family, additional Artix-7
products, and the Zynq-7000 single core devices, offers the most
compelling performance-per-watt solutions in the industry and
expanded processor scalability all at lower cost entry points."
The new Spartan-7 family offers the industry's only 28nm-based
FPGA in an 8x8mm package, enabling the portfolio's most
cost-efficient connectivity solution for both legacy and
cutting-edge interfaces, while delivering the highest
performance-per-watt sensor fusion and precision control in a small
form factor.
The newly added Artix-7 devices extend the family's industry
leadership in transceiver and signal processing performance.
These new FPGAs provide best-in-class image processing bandwidth in
multi-sensor embedded vision with greater power efficiency at small
densities.
New Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC single core devices offer an
even lower cost entry-point to a fully scalable, ARM®
processor based Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC platform, delivering
a cost-optimized single-chip solution for analytic functions and
cloud connectivity. Utilized across the portfolio is a
multi-layered approach to safety and security, including
processor-driven secure boot and the latest generation bitstream
encryption and authentication to address the growing concern of
cybersecurity in the IoT. These portfolio extensions complement the
recently announced dual core CG MPSoC products to provide a
continuum of options of single to dual core A9 on 28nm process
technology to dual core A53 on 16nm process technology.
The enhanced cost optimized portfolio is enabled in the upcoming
2016.3 release of the Vivado® Design Suite for
IP-centric and system-centric design and implementation, as well as
Xilinx's SDx™ software defined environments, empowering both
hardware and software developers to meet aggressive design
schedules typical in cost-conscious markets. The all new Spartan-7
family, as well as new Artix-7 FPGAs, and Zynq-7000S devices, will
be supported on the no-cost Vivado Design Suite
WebPACK™ Edition, as well as the Vivado Design and
System to enable immediate development.
Availability
Spartan-7 device sampling and Zynq-7000S
production devices will begin shipping in the first quarter of
2017.
